Banana Smoothie

This morning we had the opportunity to join the virtual field trip experience 

We had so much fun. 

The teacher explained to us how a chocolate is made from the cocoa tree. 

Apparently the inside of a cocoa is white. I didn't know that! Hahaha.. I thought it's brown. 

Then we also saw how milk is extracted from the cow. Mooo! 🐄 🐮

Finally we had the chance to join the teachers to make Banana Smoothies. 

All the ingredients were provided, which is a great advantage for us busy parents. 

The ingredients needed were banana, milk, chocolate chips, and oreo cookies. 

The tools were plastic knife, blender, cup, straw, foil tray, brush. These were all mailed to us. Excellent and awesome! Thank you so much

And...apart from that, we still have the items checklist printed for us and also the steps needed to make the banana smoothie.

Lastly, there is number cards, that we can play with our little ones. Please swipe for our play session. Andrew revised the steps needed to make the smoothie and lined up the number card. 

Thank you once again

Helping Ma with Laundry. 2020.

I always love it when the children were helping me with chores. 

Andrew loves to help me with the laundry washing since he was very young. 

As young as 2 years old. 

In this photo, maybe Andrew was around 3 years old. 

He can helped me to put in the dirty clothes into the washing machine, 

pick up those dry clothes into the basket. 

Mama always lift and hugged Andrew through the first step, because it was steep. 

He would then go down the stairs by himself. 

I love you Andrew. 

Thank you for helping Mama with daily chores.

Cutting Practice

Cutting Practice.

I created these few weeks ago, but Andrew only wanted to do bits and pieces, here and there. 

Today, he wanted to try again. 

Should you wish to make one, here's what I did. 

1. Draw on the back of used paper, using color marker. 

You can draw anything. Such as circles, squares, hearts, grapes, anything. 

I made it colorful, so it's more interesting for the kid. 

2. Have the child to cut it. 

3. After it's being cut, your child can blow it. Blowing is a good activity to develop their oral muscle. 

We discovered this blowing accidentally, when Andrew breathe into it. Hahaha...

I was watching the live session by @montessori_haus_asia and Miss Rosa was explaining that cutting is also one of the great pre-writing activity. Thank you Miss Rosa. 😁💕

Coffee Sensory Play

Sensory Play with Coffee Powder.

Originally I thought that this was for the boy to learn to write. I put it on the floor and the boy discovered it. 

He started playing with it, grasp the coffee, smelling it, smear his fingers. Eventough it's dirty, he kept going. 

We added the animal toobs, to make it more fun. 

I drew lines and wrote letters. 

Then we pretend that the lines are road, and the animals lined up. 

We counted how many animal are there?

Then Andrew pretended that he was baking chocolate muffin. Then the animal started eating it. 

Some animals are in the muffin and some are waiting. 

I asked him, which one is more? The ones inside or outside?

When Mama turned away for a while, Andrew fetched a glass of water and pour it into the tray. 

Ahhh....

Oh well, might as well we made muddy puddle. 

Then we will have to bath the animals. 

....and Mama needs to sweep and mop the floor. Hahahaha..

Yeah, that's our stories of play today
